The doctor led Andrew to his ward. I followed a nurse to complete the paperwork.
When I returned, Andrews wounds were bandaged.
Upon seeing me, Andrew rose from bed and apologized like a child whod misbehaved. Earlier in the car Im so sorry. Did I frighten you?
I shook my head, not wanting him to dwell on self-blame. No, I understand you were drugged.
Relief washed over Andrews face. He turned to the window, noticing the approaching darkness. Its getting late. Should I have the driver take you back to the manor?
Concern filled me as I looked at Andrew. His bandaged hands and face were a sorry sight. What about you? Do you need company?
Andrew smiled reassuringly. The bodyguards will be here. Besides, the doctor said the burns arent extensive, so it shouldnt be too risky. Go home and rest. Dont worry about me.
I hesitated slightly. It had been a whole day since Id seen Abby. I missed my child dearly.

Feeling a sense of relief, I decided to leave. However, I couldnt depart without expressing my concern. Get some rest. Ill visit tomorrow.
Sounds good, Andrew replied with a smile.
A thought struck me. What do you need for breakfast? I can bring something tomorrow.
Andrews voice held a hint of shyness. Would you mind cooking for me? Id love something you made.

Assuming Nora worried about my safety on the night roads, I explained, Just an accident at the party. No need to worry. Andrews driver brought me home.
Noras expression changed, but she remained silent. Instead, she cooed to Abby, Look, Mommys here. Happy to see her?
As if by some maternal telepathy, Abby offered a sweet smile.
Seeing Abbys smile melted my heart. I quickly took her from Nora. Her bright smile filled me with warmth.
Nora and I played with Abby, coaxing her to sleep. I stayed until she drifted off.
